Church of San Cristofano, Former church and Italian national heritage in Novoli, Florence, Italy.

The Church of San Cristofano stands in Via Allori, featuring 15th-century frescoes on its facade, including the Annunciation to Joachim and Saint Christopher paintings.

The church, first documented in 1069, had philosopher Marsilio Ficino as its rector from 1473, marking a period of intellectual influence in the area.

The interior contains notable artworks, including a Resurrection of Christ by Alessandro Allori and a Madonna of Mercy fresco from the early 1400s.

The original structure underwent major renovations in 1877, and in 1971 architects Morozzi and Corretti designed a new building to accommodate the growing population.

Near the church remains an ancient cloister with a terra verde fresco depicting the Last Supper, created by Stefano di Antonio di Vanni.
